Among Levine’s picks Tuesday were: a medical student who put his studies on hold to pursue his music dreams and a woman who was given another audition after first being unable to sway Shelton – her idol -- to mentor her. Angela Wolff's second chance came after coaches had run thorough all the talent who had come to audition without filling up their rosters.

Levine also teamed up with Twin Cities musician Tim Mahoney, but he said he was thrown for a loop by his blind audition.

“It’s gonna get a little weird for a second,” Levine said after laying eyes on the performer. “I thought you were gonna be a girl.”
